In what will be deemed one of the worst performances by a head coach in NFL history, Matt Eberflus sabotaged the Chicago Bears' opportunity to complete a miraculous comeback by the Chicago Bears in the final 36 seconds of their 23-20 defeat to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.

The Detroit Lions look more than prepared to snap their seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving and get the feast started early. While the Lions have three field goals in the first half, they have scored on all four first-half possessions to take a commanding 16-0 lead over the Chicago Bears at halftime.

Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes to Sam LaPorta, Jake Bates made three field goals in the first half and the Detroit Lions held off the Chicago Bears 23-20 to extend their winning streak to 10 games.

The calls for Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberfus to lose his job grew deafening after another late-game gaffe against the Detroit Lions.

They had a late-game blunder, however. They now fall to 4-8 on the season, with the Lions improving to 11-1. That's now six straight losses for Matt Eberflus' squad, and this one comes during a primetime holiday game.

The defense came up with a big stop to get the ball back with 3:42 left in the fourth quarter. However, Detroit's Jack Fox had a punt pinned down at Chicago's one-yard line, giving Caleb Williams and the Bears offense all it could handle to win or tie the game.

Thanksgiving has kicked off with a NFC North rivalry that has lasted since 1930, as the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears are meeting for the 189th time on a holiday known for family, food, and football.

Keenan Allen has developed a rapport with Caleb Williams as the season has gone on, and with the Bears likely needing to stay busy through the air this Thursday, Allen's anytime TD odds have caught Neil Parker's eye.
